Hubertus van Mook
Dutch colonial governor (1894–1965) / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hubertus Johannes "Huib" van Mook (30 May 1894 – 10 May 1965) was a Dutch administrator in the East Indies. During the Indonesian National Revolution, he served as the Acting Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies from 1942 to 1948.[1] Van Mook also had a son named Cornelius van Mook who studied marine engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.[1] He also wrote about Java - and his work on Kota Gede is a good example of a colonial bureaucrat capable of examining and writing about local folklore.
